Jorge, the answer to all of your questions is yes. I've never hunted elephant, but I've read all about it and I know what it curtails. We've seen some very big, very hard kicking double and bolt action rifles, like the T Rex, and one could be chambered for the .50 BMG. There are people out there who seem to enjoy the recoi of these huge calibers. I'm not one of them, I'm only saying that the cartridge seems built for elephant. Had it been around 100 years ago, it certainly would have been used for dangerous game. I was just curious to find out if anyone else out there thought the .50 BMG ballistics would be devastating on elephant. Can anyone make an argument that it would be inneffective with proper bullets?
